Mine is a MY11 and the mirrors fold in up to 70mph, the manual does state it shouldn't happen over 12mph.

LR advised me that they've allowed the PFM's to fold in up to 70mph owing to customer demand and has been rolled out on vehicles from 2010 on-wards. Useful for around the lanes where I live as it's that close and sometimes even closer! |

Mine started making weird noises when locking yesterday like the motor wouldnt shut off,moved them right in then right out a load of times while spraying with WD 40 in and they seem ok now. |

It's a common fault. However, WD40 wont last long, it's not a lubricant, it's a water dispersent.

Mine don't power fold at all. Was this an option or standard in the '08 petrol SE (w/ nav) version? If I'm missing out, I gotta have it checked out! CAR HISTORY

Those wing mirrors are quite large - just think of the improved drag coefficient with those dog ears folded in!
